That was exactly the problem! Thank you so much, as that's one I would have
never spotted myself!

FYI, here's what happened: Since I just cut/paste the HTML from view-source
on the presidents example on simile-widgets.org, the newlines got
interpreted as paragraphs by the wiki-engine in Xwiki. So, I removed the
extra newline in Exhibit.Presidents2, and it now works in IE! This is a
"gotcha" I frequently hit in Xwiki, although I find the ability to mashup
HTML and wikitext in an active document quite useful.

Now both the "standalone"
http://nielsmayer.com/xwiki/bin/view/Exhibit/Presidents2
and locally-hosted-exhibit
http://nielsmayer.com/xwiki/bin/view/Exhibit/Presidents
work in IE! Thanks again and also thanks for Exhibit which is just all
around great!

The updated XAR (zip format) of "Presidents2" example is here:

PS: After sending the announcement yesterday, I realized there was one issue
that makes this example not quite standalone. Exhibit.PresidentsPkg.xar
contains a hard-coded google-maps key that you receive when registering your
site <http://code.google.com/apis/maps/signup.html>. You'll need to change
"gmapkey" setting in object XWiki.JavaScriptExtension[2] on document
"Exhibit.Presidents2":

>  params:     { bundle: true, authenticated: false, autoCreate: false, safe:
> false, gmapkey: "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX", views: "timeline,map" }

Until this is changed, you'll get a dialog box from google saying you need
to register. When you click away the dialog box, it should load the
interface even if not correctly registered.

PPS: What does this Exhibit parameter setting do, and what is the correct
value:
            namespace:  "http://simile.mit.edu/2006/11/exhibit#";,
(also in object XWiki.JavaScriptExtension[2] on document
"Exhibit.Presidents2)
